Algae Industry Magazine
June 2, 2013

The 2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey reports that more than 2 in 3 adults are considered to be overweight or obese. About one-third of children and adolescents ages 6 to 19 are considered to be overweight or obese.
Algae offer a set of solutions to moderate obesity, including satiety, fat and nutrient bioavailability.

Manufacturers use hydrocolloids (polysaccharides extracts from red and brown algae cell walls) as thickeners and stabilizers.

Maybe eating algae sounds very healthy…. BUT how will it taste?

It is likely that you are already eating algae every day. Algae and algae extracts for food applications are already a well-established global industry.

MBD Nutrition believes algae are a key part of the future. Our aim is to bring the health benefits of algae enjoyed by many for thousands of years to everyone. It is not a new product but it’s one that will make each of us healthier every day. MBD is expanding it's R&D to food product development with expert partners.

Wide range of uses:

Seaweeds are being used in Sushi, soups, salads and other foods for centuries. More recently they have been used is a variety of household products from ice cream to toothpaste. So if you are eating ice cream, drinking milk or cleaning your teeth – you are using algae. MBD thinks there are even more ways to add algae to your diets.

The people of Asia and Central America have grown up with centuries of including seaweed as a staple part of their diets. They are a great source of nutrients and essential elements in everybody’s diets! These continents also enjoy low levels of heart disease and strokes. As it well known, diet plays a big part in everyday health.

Health Benefits

Eating relatively small amount of algae, as little as 5-10 grams, on a daily basis can supply an imported part of your essential daily recommended dosage (RDI) of calcium, vitamin B12, iron, iodine, potassium and more!

Increasing numbers of human clinical studies are demonstrating the efficacy of algae’s bioactive compounds in boosting the immune system, assist with glucose and lipids metabolism, prevent obesity and assist with wellbeing in general.

It truly is a wonderful health food that everyone should have in their diets. Best still its 100% natural.

14,200 years of use:
